ANY OLD Texas State Technical guys out there?

Oh yeah, good old 763, I got my high performance endorsement in that thing in 98 with a certain golfer/flight instructor. Just now went and grabbed the POH (yeah, I keep em all, what a dork) and I second Burritos' performance numbers, man that thing was cool.

Regarding Steve: I have just two words: Saab 340. We could have made a drinking game out of his classes. Steve mentions Saab 340, take a drink. We would have been wasted inside of an hour. He also used to get his facts wrong in class. Good guy though, not trying to be mean.

I remember the Geronimo gearing up during the open house also. It was sad and funny at the same time.

Burritos: sounds like we were there at the same time. Who are you? Maybe send me a PM, we might have known each other.

Superpilot: I'd love to see those pics, can I PM you with an email address?

88763 got donated to the aviation maintenance program when it's TBO was up, if I'm not mistaken. Speasemaker finally made the move up, although that's been several years ago now. I think he really liked instructing, but sooner or later, you gotta go. Might have gone down to Continental Express.

Thanks for the info. I helped put the last new engine into 763 back in 98 I think. Got to break it in too, full power for an hour to seat the rings! That was a fun flight.

Hey CoolHands (Scott), the shirt quote would be 'Got GUMP?'
I did fly 763 once and it was UGLY on the inside (made 28V and 52D seem luxurious).... I was kind of scared, but I must admit, the takeoff climb was nothing but sky. It didn't have even have switches for the electrical components, but push/pull knobs.

Thanks SpaceGhost, I really wish I coulda gotten one of those shirts I was in KABI a few nights ago on my freight run and I saw N95606 sitting in front of the t-hangers. I just checked my logbook and I flew that plane on one of my first flights back in October of 2000. Brought back a bunch of fun memories!
